Dear Friends, Families and Supporters of Eastside Preparatory School,
Our eighth newsletter of the year is ready for your perusal!
Each month we enjoy putting together this publication and each issue challenges us to piece together articles that will command your interest. To do so, our authors have to be creative. It is this skill — that of innovation — that is addressed in Dr. Terry Macaluso’s monthly column.
You’ll no doubt notice the most recent addition to our curriculum in the cover article authored by Robin Wheeler. We are proud to announce the launch of the Fourth Quarter, Eastside Prep’s pilot summer program! If you are still looking for a meaningful summer activity for your children, perhaps you will find it here at Eastside Prep!
Bart Gummere examines an issue of great importance to all of our families — the role of the advisor — in his Upper School Head’s column.
Lauren Formo interviews two staff members and Karen Mills recommends two award-winning novels. Jonathan Briggs considers the dilemma of keeping up with technology in an environment of constant change and innovation. Also, Thorly James provides this month’s Parent Association update.
Chuck Henry, the Director of EPIC, reminds us that every day is Earth Day at Eastside Prep, and Kevin McQuade provides an update about another “first” for Eastside Prep, the production of our school’s first full-length musical, “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” And topping off the arts contributions — samples of student visual arts works submitted by Amis Balcomb.
After the May newsletter, you will receive one more newsletter — the June issue — before our 8th grade continuation ceremony and the close of the 2007-2008 academic year. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but next year at this time we will be preparing for our first graduating class of college-bound seniors! As always, please accept our thanks for your interest in and support of Eastside Preparatory School. You are all valued members of our community, and we’re happy to provide you with our monthly update.
We hope you will enjoy the May newsletter!
Sincerely,
Eastside Preparatory School
